VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Depraved Awakening [v1.0] [PhillyGames]

Plenty of plaudits for Depraved Awakening already, and I'll have to add my voice to the chorus. Excellent noir storyline that can stand on its own that weaves compelling characters into interesting plotlines.

The art is just...wow. The renderings are tremendous on their own, but the amazing attention to detail--from the laces of the stockings, the light bouncing off of shimmering skin, to the bokeh in the city background--really sets a new standard in VNs I've seen. Arguably the best art I've ever seen.

Philly made, um...very good choices on designing his ladies, I'll leave it at that. More Christina and Carli, please.

Game interface is standard VN Love/Lust categories, which checks in the beginning that shape the game but eventually converge a bit. Multiple endings that surprisingly don't overlap enough. That said, they very well done and helps the game end on a high note.

Play it. Both the stories and the art are worth your time.

Also, making/finishing the game seems to have been very tough on PhillyGames. For what it's worth, this one's up on the pantheon, and I hope he/she continues to make great games/VNs because there's real talent (and giving of joy) there.

I just finished this excellent game. This last update ended the story so well! It tied up all the loose ends and provided closure with every character. This was a very well written and produced game. One of the very best.

The end of the best " porn game " that I've ever played! So sad, but at the same time I'm happy Philly could finish his fantastic story with great scenes and endings. What to say about this masterpiece... it's simple wonderful! A great and deep noir story, great characters each with different personalities, fucking hot scenes, perfect soundtrack that fits perfectly with the atmosphere and the story of the game... Jesus, I don't even know what to say anymore. To conclude, I'd say that Philly '' revolutionized '' this gaming community, showing it's possible to make '' porn games '' and it still have a good and deep story in it. So kuddos to you Philly, you did an amazing job here, buddy! And congrats for finishing your first game, I hope you bring many other wonderful games and stories to us ( I know you will xD ). And for everyone who's reading this... if you can, support Philly! if there's a guy who deserves your money, Philly is the man! I'm finishing this review by saying CARLI BEST GIRL EVER!!! <3

By far the best adult themed game i have played. the images are very high quality, the characters have personality, the choices are meaningfull and actualy matter. i played through most of the game 3 seperate times, and i have gotten 3 rather differant playthroughs. and its actualy completed, a rare feat in and off itself.
This game sets the bar for visual novels and it sets it extremely high.

Hands down one of the best written VN's out there.

The story is amazing, full of up's and down's that make you both love, and hate, the writer.

Excellent characters, excellent renders. Definitely deserving of 5 stars. I can't wait to see what @Philly_Games does next!

Wonderful Game. Actually a great story with convincing characters. Really cool setting. Your choices matter. You can go more evil or be the good detective. A lot of really beautiful animated women. Great Endings. What more can you want?

Easily one of the best games/stories I've seen in a long time.
Followed this game with great interest, initially because of the render quality. That quickly changed to following it because of its brilliantly executed plot, and characters.

An absolute "must play"!

Man looks like this one is finished.....i have to admit im a bit sad. This game is one of the best i ever playd whit, top 2-3 easily. Grat visuals, phenomenal story, meaningfull choices and the best characters i ever seen. loved every minute of it and im pretty sure i will return to play it again in the future. Thank's for this masterpice and keep up the god work.

Depraved Awakening...
I discovered this game in its early days. It feels like ages ago.
It's weird, I can't remember many adult games that I enjoyed back then, but this game, this full-fledged experience, it was an eye-opener.
For me, it was the first game that showed that adult games are so much more than just sexual content. The whole noir vibe...I fell in love with it from the start.

Now, I know Philly. He's the kind of developer that rarely says he's truly satisfied with his renders.
It's not because they are bad, if you've played the game you know that the renders he produces are truly astonishing, but because he always wants to learn more and strives to do better.
It's a great quality to have, because he's always pushing himself to evolve, never saying "That's all I need to know.", always asking "What else can I learn?".
The downside to having that quality is that I fear that he cannot truly appreciate what he has achieved with this game.
Because what you have achieved Philly, it is bloody brilliant. From start to finish. Brilliant!
This game is a hallmark for what adult games should strive to be in terms of quality and content.
Having only taken a few days off since the start of this project, no one can deny how much heart and soul has been put into your efforts.

There is no doubt that this game, and you as a developer, has inspired other developers in this business to want to create games.
Hey, I'm living proof. Without you, I would still sit here with my hand on my cock waiting for new games, like any other player.

Now that your game is finally complete, take a step back and look at what you really achieved.
You have created a full game, an amazing one at that. And you did it on your own.
It's a milestone that very few people who walk this earth achieves in their lifetime.

So, now that you're done. Take a breather, friend. There's no one who's earned it more than you.
Congratulations, you did it!

Storyline....hollywood type writing
animation....weak at first but that became fucking amazing
i love fucking facials....finally a game where youre blasting faces or have the option too in nearly every fuck scene

my only slight complaint is that none of these developers cant get cumshots right besides ddfun90(he made saturday night) or whatever his name is. it cant be hard to make a man squirt 4 or 5 times like in real life. i hate that flash and shes covered shit.

but still this is the greatest fucking game ever
you hear me? EVERRRRR!

this is the first game im donating too
oh and no fucking incest!!!! finally!!!!

A very interesting and entertaining story. Quality renders with gorgeous women and different personalities. Its easy to get lost in the mystery as certain scenarios develop. Its the kind of game you don't want to end.

Amazing story with such a well made girls models.
I tried like 15+ games so far and this one is best by far, i even tried some from most popular category and while there are some good games out there, this one is really unique, i wish there was some similar game to this one.
I hope person who made this will continue to make games, this is just so awesome.

Easily the prettiest and strongest written erotic VN that I have ever had the pleasure of playing through. I am extremely excited to see what this developer does with the project and hope to see it receive the attention it deserves!

Excellent Novel! A Noir Detective theme, with a bad ass MC who sticks his nose where it doesn't belong. Trouble ensues, and he is drug further into the corruption than he had bargained for. Expect lots of action and sex, and plenty of dark secrets to unearth.

One of the best games ever! Great job Philly_Games! Awesome storyline and characters! Thank you, F95 and supporters! I hope we get more quality games in the future. Keep it up guys and more power to you and team!

My favorite game of all thus far. You may get so immersed in the plot that you forget about the eroticism. Very few grammatical errors smooth playthrough. Graphics are very good quality, options are many, there's almost too many ways or paths to go in the story and stats work flawlessly. There's no grind to the game at all and you even get some satirical cameos in there that are absolutely hilarious if you've played other games.

This is a game where there is an atmosphere, an trial. And everything seems real. That's great rarity.
This is one of the best games of its kind I've ever played. Even thought it contains lots of sex and nudity, the main focus is on the story and the characters. I love the noir feel of it. The comparison to Heavy Rain is appropriate. 95% of the games posted on here are either a buggy, poorly written mess that is basically just spank bank material or degenerate pieces of shit. This is one of the diamonds in the rough. This, and Melody are the best games in the 'genre'.

Really liked this game, hope more will come soon. The models are nice, and it's great that there isn't a lot of going around finding content.
There's so much content, and the writing feels good too, making you move easily in the right direction. It's shame though that some characters left us already, but can't wait for more to come.

Easily the best h-game out there. Good story with nicely fleshed out, believable characters, great atmosphere of noir movies, and also is probably the first h-game ever in which I did not turn off the music. This game truly raises standards for every other in the genre.

This may be the best game of this type that I've ever played. The renders are of uniformly high quality, and you manage to sketch all the typical detective fiction character types without making any of them too predictable. Best of all, your plot conveys a real feeling of menace and ambiguously motivated actors: I actually read through the game for the story, not just for the sex. It's a great piece of work.
